Chapter 54: The Lava Behemoth
readx;
Due to the lack of light, Luo Zheng's front was dark, and he could only barely make out the road ahead with a little glimmer of light. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for those small demon beasts hidden in the dark, Luo Zheng didn't think about them at all now, and the biggest trouble was behind him.
The Knife Insect Mother Queen persevered behind her, and her huge body smashed into many stone pillars in the cave.
I don't know if it was due to its keen sense of smell, or if it left a special mark on Luo Zheng's body, Luo Zheng got rid of it several times through the dense cave, but it was chased by it soon after.
Under this chase, the smell of sulfur that rushed into the nose became stronger and stronger.
Just as Luo Zheng drilled into a chain of holes, his eyes suddenly opened up, and at the same time, he was shrouded in a dark red light.
In front of Luo Zheng's eyes, there was an underground lake, and what was contained in this underground lake was not water, but raging magma, and in the magma, dark red flames continued to bloom and extinguish.
It turned out to be the fire of the center of the earth!
According to ancient books, the fire is said to be a kind of flame that emerged from the center of the earth.
The refiners had a love and a hate for the Earth's Heart Fire, which was more violent, more violent, and also more unstable than the True Yuan Fire that had been cultivated in their bodies. But when refining some special magic weapons, the geocentric fire has a miraculous effect.
The smell of sulfur that Luo Zheng smelled earlier should have been emitted by this pool of earth-centered fire.
"Boom, boom......"
There was another tremor behind Luo Zheng.
The Blade Worm Mother Queen chased after her again.
"The ghost is not gone!"
Luo Zheng's face changed, and when he saw that there was still a road on the side of the fire lake in the center of the earth, he followed that road and ran around the magma lake.
The ground on the side of this magma lake has been scorched by the fire of the center of the earth for a long time, and there is a hot feeling when you step on it, and at the same time, in the air, waves of heat are also coming towards Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng couldn't care about anything at the moment, after all, it was important to escape.
"Poof!"
A pool of magma suddenly burst open, and a ball of geocentric fire burst out of the exploding magma and shot straight towards Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng was running at a high speed, and when he saw the dark red geocentric fire, he rolled on the spot in a hurry to avoid the geocentric fire.
The geocentric fire swept over Luo Zheng's back and splashed on the stone wall next to him, instantly burning a big hole in the stone wall.
"The power of this geocentric fire is too terrifying," Luo Zheng noticed that the stone wall on the left side was already covered with countless holes with large bowl mouths.
After seeing the power of the Earth's Core Fire, Luo Zheng was even more cautious, if he was burned by this suddenly exploded Earth's Heart Fire, he didn't know what the consequences would be.
But at this moment, there was a sudden "squeak" sound behind Luo Zheng, and he turned his head to look, and the Knife Worm Mother Emperor finally appeared next to the lava lake.
Although this Knife Worm Mother Emperor was powerful, and it was a carapace, extremely strong, it was also very afraid of the Earth's Core Fire, and it also continued to chase Luo Zheng along the road next to the magma lake.
However, the good thing is that compared to such a huge body of the Knife Insect Mother Emperor, Luo Zheng's body is much more flexible, and it is naturally much easier to avoid the earth's core fire.
And the body of the Knife Insect Mother Emperor is so huge, and she is also very afraid of the Earth's core fire, and the vibration caused by the footsteps of the Knife Insect Mother Emperor is transmitted in the magma lake, often causing those tumbling lava to burst out of the Earth's core fire.
Seeing that the distance between him and the Knife Insect Mother Emperor was getting wider and wider, Luo Zheng's heart also relaxed, and it seemed that as long as he bypassed this magma lake, he would be able to get rid of this Knife Insect Mother Emperor.
It's just that he looked ahead, his face suddenly changed, and the heart that didn't last long was relieved, and immediately came up again.
In front of Luo Zheng, there was a behemoth blocking his way.
The behemoth was a giant beast, shaped like a lion, but ten times larger than a lion!
With a fiery red mane all over its body, two thick and powerful claws on the ground, a huge head haunted to the side, and a tail like a scorpion waving twice from time to time, the beast was sleeping!
"Scorpion ......"
A terrifying name rose from the depths of Luo Zheng's mind.
Luo Zheng was able to recognize this giant beast in an instant, not that he was well-informed, the characteristic of this fire scorpion lion was that it had a tail like a scorpion, and it liked to live in an area with extremely high temperatures, and it was very easy to identify, Luo Zheng had seen it in books.
The strength of the fire scorpion lion is extremely strong, especially its scorpion-like tail, which is the most lethal weapon, and the strong people of the innate secret realm encounter the fire scorpion lion, and they don't even have room to escape.
This powerful beast was extremely widely distributed and numerous in ancient times, but now it is on the verge of extinction in the Eastern Regions.
The reason is that in the body of the fire scorpion lion, there is an extremely rare crystal nucleus, called the fire scorpion crystal nucleus, this crystal nucleus is the most rigid and yang thing, whether it is used for alchemy or refining, it is an excellent material, and it is something that top refiners and top alchemists dream of.
If anyone knew that there was a fire scorpion lion hiding in this cave, I am afraid that a large number of strong people would immediately come and strangle it.
At this moment, Luo Zheng was not interested in the fire scorpion crystal nucleus of this fire scorpion lion, what he was interested in was how to escape from this fire scorpion lion.
The fire manticore was still asleep, and when he heard the sound of snoring like a drum, he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Thinking of the Sword Insect Mother Emperor behind him, Luo Zheng had no better way at the moment, so he could only risk passing by the fire scorpion lion.
But if you accidentally wake up the fire scorpion lion when you pass by......
There is only one dead word in the end.
Luo Zheng hesitated
If you don't take the risk, you will wait to be split by the Knife Worm Mother Emperor, and you may survive if you take the risk, Luo Zheng has no other better choice now.
Seeing the fierce fangs of the fire scorpion lion and the scorpion tail that kept shaking, Luo Zheng took two deep breaths and took a light step.
As Luo Zheng slowly approached, a smell from the fire scorpion lion entered Luo Zheng's nose, and he endured the smell to make his steps lighter and slower, for fear of waking up the fire scorpion lion by accident.
Twenty steps.
Ten steps.
Five steps.
Luo Zheng was getting closer and closer to the fire scorpion lion, his heart was pounding, and his teeth were clenched.
Just when he was still three steps away from the fire scorpion lion, the fire manticore suddenly rolled over, stretching out its limbs long.
This move of the fire scorpion lion immediately put Luo Zheng's heart in his throat and stopped beating completely!
Fortunately, after stretching his waist, the fire scorpion lion actually rested his huge head on his front legs and fell asleep, not even noticing Luo Zheng who was close at hand.
Luo Zheng opened his mouth, exhaled softly, and tiptoed forward for a minute......
Just when Luo Zheng thought that he could pass smoothly, the Knife Worm Mother Emperor caught up at this moment.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The Blade Worm Mother Queen stepped on the ground and made a huge vibration.
The fire scorpion lion suddenly opened his eyes, and his huge eyes stared at Luo Zheng in front of him, and his mouth made a "cooing" sound.
Luo Zheng confronted the fire scorpion lion for a moment, Luo Zheng used his feet hard, and jumped towards the rear!
The fire scorpion lion was disturbed by someone's sleep, and at this moment it was full of anger, raising its thick front paws and swooping towards Luo Zheng.
It's like a cat catching a mouse......
But Luo Zheng reacted very quickly, and the fire scorpion lion pounced on it.
"Whew!"
The fire scorpion lion was completely annoyed, roared at Luo Zheng, the "villain", and was about to pounce again, but at this moment it found the sword insect mother emperor opposite, so it stopped arresting Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng swallowed his saliva, realizing that he couldn't get out of today's desperate situation.
Behind him was the Mother Emperor of Blades, and in front of him was a fire scorpion.
No matter which piece it is, it is an existence that can kill him instantly.
At this moment, both the Sword Insect Mother Emperor and the Fire Scorpion Lion discovered each other's existence, and the eyes of both sides showed a deep look of jealousy.
But neither side chose to back down.
The Worm Mother Queen, wielding a huge red blade, made a "squeak" screak in her mouth, as if warning the fire scorpion lion not far away.
The fire scorpion lion's claws are constantly gouging on the ground, and the hard stone surface is easily gouged out by the fire scorpion lion.
This confrontation lasted for about half a pillar of incense.
The Knife Worm Mother Emperor was the first to lose her patience, and the scream suddenly became urgent, and she rushed towards Luo Zheng's side.
And the fire scorpion lion also raised its head and let out a roar that resounded through the cave, and also rushed towards Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng, who was standing in the middle, suddenly pale.
At this moment, he had no second choice, so he gritted his teeth and jumped into the lava lake on the side......
The magma lake, which was stirring violently, engulfed Luo Zheng in an instant.
